What is a common security task performed when securing administrative access to a network infrastructure device?

• Disable discovery protocols for all user-facing ports.
• Enable at least two ports for remote access.
• Log and account for all access.
• Block local access.

Explanation: When securing both local and remote administrative access to a network device, be sure to record anyone who accesses the device, the actions taken during the access, and the date/time of the access. Other good practices are to limit the number of ports and methods of access, authenticate access, authorize actions performed by those who access the device, display legal notification, and protect data viewed and/or copied. Limit the amount of protocols used for remote access and consider using SSH version 2 or HTTPS. Discovery protocols are not relevant to administrative access.
